Libby Moulton Partner

San Francisco; Silicon Valley

Libby joins trial teams – both within and outside of Orrick – and takes the role of legal strategist and brief writer. Before trial, Libby develops strategies for raising and preserving legal issues, especially Daubert issues and dispositive motions. At trial, Libby handles the charge conference, Rule 50(a) or directed verdict motions, and pocket briefing as needed. After trial, she manages the post-trial briefing and transitions the case to appeal. 

More than half of Libby's cases involve co-counsel outside of Orrick, where she quickly develops productive and collaborative relationships with outside litigation teams. She has experience in trial courts in Delaware, Texas, California (state and federal), Massachusetts, and the ITC.

In addition to her trial work, Libby maintains a robust appellate practice. Libby leads appellate briefing and has presented oral arguments in the Federal Circuit, Ninth Circuit, and New York Appellate Division. She has also represented clients in appeals to the Sixth Circuit, DC Circuit, California Court of Appeal, and US Supreme Court.

Libby also has an active pro bono practice, including representing the Arizona Federal Public Defender’s Office in an ongoing administrative challenge to capital habeas proceedings.

Prior to joining Orrick, Libby served as a law clerk to Judge Raymond C. Clevenger III of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and to Judge Ronald M. Whyte of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Before law school, Libby was a patent examiner in the medical device area at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
